A theory... Someone may have partied too hard... Clearly there's more to why they're not using the video wall as a primary source, but this could be a factor...




I can't really tell what's wrong...is that a discoloration or something in the wall? Anyways, couldn't TWC just use one side and not the other instead of not using it all together? :dunno:

And since you brought this up Jesse, you can't bash other people over the head for mentioning the video wall like you did before. :P

Sammy George: Saah hey carl i was wondering how come you are not using the hd walls and why are you using the green screen and when will they return the hd wall monitors (big Screen)

Are you sure that discoloration isn't just part of the graphic and not a faint line? :unsure:

Don't always believe in what the OCMs say. You're better off waiting until Tyler or Martin get something from a source that's much more reliable. B)

I am pretty sure it is not part of the graphic.  I was able to notice it, a lot, when they would do their forecasts from the video wall.

Did they build a new larger greenscreen? I remember there bing monitors on the wall in portrait mode on that wall?
So now they have 3 green screens? lol

Dumbass question: isn't that over in the WUWA area of the HD studio.

And it's totally a temp screen.  Really nice temp screen, though.

Yes, and the other two green screens in the studio aren't HD safe, they would effectively have to zoom in so close, they would be dark on screen.

So THAT's the green screen they've been using? :blink: I guess it may be for a temporary reason then...can't believe the other two green screens in an HD studio aren't HD safe. :wacko:

(Oh yeah, and I'm assuming your picture was to show the temporary green screen and not Stephanie's awesome uggs, right Jesse? :P)

I didn't notice the green screen and I thought the picture was just to show off Stephanie. :P

Is the LDL translucent now? Just when it was cueing out a while ago, you could see through it.

No.
It would be cool if it were, though. Like the old XL LDL, but more advanced and a blue tint.

I've been told they like the look of the graphics on the screen so it may be permanent in the future. We shall see
